The quest for increasingly robust point-of-entry protection has led to the development of the CRITEC high energy Triggered Spark Gap Technology. The TSG provides similar let-through voltages to MOV-based products but with much greater energy handling capability. It also diverts more energy to ground through an enhanced clamping mechanism.
Traditional spark gaps have high let-through voltages. The TSG has overcome this by sensing the arrival of a transient and generates an initiation spark thus allowing the TSG to trigger on significantly lower voltages, typically less than 1500 volts.
The TSG has also addressed the problem of follow current control that is associated with traditional spark gaps.
The TSG has eliminated this problem by lengthening the arc and splitting it into several smaller arcs. This causes the arc to rapidly extinguish, resulting in higher fault current capacities, minimising wear of the spark gap electrodes and preventing the unnecessary activation of upstream fuses or circuit breakers.
